Description
2000-P Jefferson Nickel, MS65
Struck by Two Obverse Dies
2000-P 5C MS65 PCGS. This intriguing Jefferson nickel has
two obverses, rotated approximately 225 degrees from coin turn.
Both sides are weakly struck due to improperly spaced dies, but
exhibit a readable date and mintmark and a partial outline of the
bust of Jefferson. Although unstruck areas retain the dimpled
texture of the planchet surface, post-strike contact is confined to
the rim near IN G on one side, and the rim near BERT on the other
side. The surfaces are brilliant, luminous, and satiny.
Double-headed and double-tailed mint errors are extremely rare. A
few double-tailed coins are known, including a Washington quarter
from two reverse dies that sold in our Denver Signature sale
(Heritage, 8/2006), for nearly $42,000. This Jefferson nickel,
however, is the only Mint-made two-headed coin known to us among
regular production coinage.
